🌶️Location! 3Ksqft! Private 1Acre Lot! Near Rio Grande + Mountain Views

Your Southwest getaway awaits in enchanting Los Ranchos de Albuquerque! Bienvenidos a la Casa de Encanto!

Huge 3,000 Sq Ft ranch style home on large, private, 1 acre lot in charming North Valley Albuquerque. Peacefully nestled inside safe, well established Lee Acres neighborhood. Easy backroad access to Balloon Fiesta Park w/ beautiful Sandia Mountain views from backyard patio... amazing sunrise & sunsets!

While remote in feeling, you remain just minutes away from dining, shopping, trails, wineries/breweries, Old Town, Downtown, Balloon Fiesta, Corrales & the Westside. Santa Fe is a short 1-hr drive.

Headed to ABQ for the Balloon Fiesta? This is your property! Why?

Property Located Directly in the Balloon Corridor:
Because of the unique local wind patterns known as the "Albuquerque Box," hot air balloons frequently drift straight south down the Rio Grande valley. If you stay here, you can step out onto your patio at dawn with a cup of coffee and watch dozens of balloons fly directly over the cottonwood trees before you even leave for the park.

The Rural Oasis Vibe:
Unlike the busy commercial areas, this area features tree lined streets, historic adobe homes, quiet lanes, lavender fields & the peaceful Los Poblanos & Rio Grande Bosque trails.

The Backroads Traffic Advantage:
Because you are already situated northwest of the main city center, you can use smaller, local roads (like 4th St/2nd St to Alameda) to approach Balloon Fiesta Park. This allows you to completely bypass the brutal bumper-to-bumper gridlock on Interstate 25.

Most wonderful state we’ve ever had with the VRBO, the host Claire is so nice, we come in a holiday time and open the door to see the big welcoming basket waiting for us. The house is a huge and super clean, very comfortable room, bedding, shower, kitchenand full of supplies whatever you needed. The communication was also great with the host, check-in process super easy. We had a wonderful holiday in this house, feels just like at our own. We can’t say thank you enough to Claire of her kindness thoughtfulness. We hope to be back next time in Albuquerque. Highly recommended this beautiful home.

Just returned from two weeks at this property - it was highly rated by the entire group (consisting of family and friends with extremely high standards). From the first point of contact with the host, it was apparent to me that we had found a very nice set up. The host was very responsive and answered all my pre-stay questions promptly. All of us felt very comfortable and the initial welcome was quite lovely. The house itself is large, comfortable and impeccably maintained. The photos don't do the place justice - inside or out. The cleanliness was top notch, the laundry unit is very good (better than most of the places we've stayed in). We had an issue with the fridge water filter being faulty - it was promptly dealt with in spite of the host being out of town - she had it taken care of within 36 hours after being notified of the problem - and that was only because the replacement part had to be over-night delivered before it could be installed. The location of the house was great for a group who wanted to be close to everything - but without a lot of noise. Being able to sit on the back patio for morning coffee, or later for evening meals was very relaxing - the area is somehow insulated from the traffic noise of a main road less about .2 miles from the house. The neighborhood is quiet, and provided a nice safe place to walk in the mornings before breakfast. We were less than 5 miles from the heart of downtown Albuquerque. 2 thumbs up on all counts
